IBM 74Y6220 server / storage / networking hardware Server Hardware / Parts

The IBM 74Y6220 is a 1600W power supply, IBM feature code 5628, a genuine IBM component for the POWER6 p570 server family (9117-MMA and 9406-MMA), sharing its feature code with sibling part 74Y7338. It converts mains AC into the regulated DC rails the system’s processor, memory and I/O subsystems draw on, and is installed as a hot-swap unit alongside its redundant partner in eligible chassis so that a single failed supply does not take the system down. Power supplies of this rating are consumable over years of continuous duty, making replacement a routine part of keeping an established p570 deployment’s redundancy intact rather than something reserved only for outright failures. Genuine IBM units of this kind are specified rather than a generic equivalent because the p570’s power subsystem firmware expects to see a recognised IBM supply on its management bus. Specifiers should confirm their exact system model before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supports ongoing server maintenance projects.
